Earl Weaver finally passed away this weekend after decades of chain smoking. Earl was the manager of the Baltimore Orioles during their glory years. Here is a tribute to Earl. And then, just to make sure you know Earl intimately, here is an adults-only, world famous rendition of Earl in an argument with Bill Haller, one of the best American League umpires.

Despite the inanity of the argument, Earl Weaver was one of the most intelligent managers ever. He was way ahead of his time.
